Apple could be preparing for a major expansion of its iPhone lineup with not just one foldable iPhone, but potentially an entire family of foldable devices. For years, Apple has watched companies like Samsung, Google, Huawei, and others experiment with foldable smartphones. Now, reports suggest that Apple could finally be ready to enter the foldable market in a much bigger way.

Instead of treating the foldable iPhone as a single experimental product, Apple could eventually turn it into a separate product

Two Foldable iPhones Could Be Coming

Apple is reportedly exploring multiple foldable designs. The company could introduce different models aimed at different types of users, creating a foldable lineup similar to the way the regular iPhone family has expanded over the years.

One possible direction is a traditional book-style foldable smartphone. When closed, it would work like a normal phone, while opening the device could provide a much larger screen for multitasking, gaming, watching videos, and productivity.

Another possibility is a clamshell-style device that folds into a smaller form factor. This design could appeal to users who want a compact phone that becomes a regular-sized smartphone when opened.

If Apple eventually offers both designs, it could create an entirely new iPhone segment.
